The Vercel AI Accelerator is back, and this year we selected 39 early-stage teams from across the US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America to build with us for six weeks. The next generation of AI startups is building on our self-driving infrastructure, and the accelerator is how we work directly with the earliest-stage founders among them. This year's cohort spans every industry, at varying points in their journey, but they share a clear point of view on what needs to exist right now and the urgency to ship it. Teams in the program get access to Vercel infrastructure, $8M+ in partner credits (AWS, Anthropic, OpenAI, Cartesia, ElevenLabs, and more), weekly sessions with founders and technical leaders, and dedicated VC mentors.
